Since it happens when the internet connection is down you may be able to add an entry in the HOSTS (not LMHOSTS) file and bypass the DNS all together. If you don't have a problem any more then not being able to access the DNS servers when the internet connection was down is most likely your problem.

You should find the file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc on windows XP.

Good luck.

>>>Hi folks. I still ocassionally get a "page cannot be displayed" error on my ASP.NET app that calls VFP com components. Any ideas what could be causing this. Doesn't happen ever day. A page that has been working all day will suddenly give this error. Can be any page at any time. It may happen several times in a row, then not again for days or weeks.
>>
>>There are a lot of different things that could be causing it. Is the server loaded down? Several web servers will fail to server pages when they are getting hammered? Perhaps the usage is just up a bit, and accessing the VFP components then a database, is causing a time out. It could be a cache issues as well. Are you looking at the error logs at all?

>In one case the "page cannot be displayed" happens on a page where no access to com components or data is happening, so I think I can rule out data access problems.

>The last time two times that the error had happended, the internet connection for our business had gone down, then come back up. I was able to then relogin to the app, the had the error come up within a few minutes. One of the major users confirms this scenario as well. Strange though, that the error doesn't happen on the first page we access after the internet connection comes back up.
